It's been a while since the last time, but I've been working! Namely, I worked on the designs for Biblos' main characters Suzzen, Rogier, Arabelia and Dylion. Today I share with you the final colours and main outfit for Suzzen - just plain colours, still in need of some texture. I tried to capture her link with Botany, specially with flowers. Her clothes should give the impression that she likes walking on mud and through forests, but at the same time she should look somewhat delicate.

I'm sure you guessed Arabelia is the easily-bothered type :P She's
obsessive about order and structure, and very perfectionist. Now that
she's been promoted (as Chief of History at Undine Library), she's
trying hard to perform her job the best she can. Arabelia is one of
those people who are loyal to their values and believes, to justice, to
truth. And even if she's never been through a big adventure, and the
sole thought of it scares her to death, she knows she would do anything
for a good cause. She has a secret passion: Swords!

Her clothes are quite elegant. Even if she isn't interested about fashion or elegance, she is highborn and has a reputation to maintain. She doesn't care too much about her origins, but she is really concerned about projecting a professional and respectable image.

Hi everyone! I know it's been a long time since I wrote something here, but it's been for a good reason: I have lots of work! These days I am working mainly in graphic design, so I've decided to start a project that, even if I'm not sure about how it will end up — hopefully it will do as a comic — at least it will give me the opportunity to enjoy and train my favourite job: creating and drawing characters; creating and drawing stories at all.

Some years ago I wrote and illustrated a tale, "Through Words", which was just the beginning of a much greater story, and that's the one which I'll be working on now. It's going to be something I do in my free time, therefore I can't tell how long it will take or how it will end.

One thing I can say about Biblos: that it is about the power of books, used as tools or weapons.

Today I'm sharing here the first lines on some of the main characters.

Hi everyone! I haven't been able to draw at all lately, but I was looking at some old sketches and felt like sharing this particular one with you. I am quite fond of this character and the story where she belongs, The Secret Garden. I promise I'll bring brand new drawings soon! :)
